Can someone please explain what a half-wheel uni looks like? I have been reading some old posts about .5, 1.5, 2.5, even 0 wheelers, but I don’t know what these are. Any pictures out there?
Thanks

No, but that is awesome though. I am trying to find a pictue of a half-wheeled uni. I have an idea in my head of what this is, when I read about it, but it can’t be what I think it is, can it?
Re: half wheeler
Jack Halpern made those unicycles. See this thread for a little more info and a picture of the 1.5 wheeler.
The .5 wheeler is a wheel shaped like a capital “D”. Basically, half a wheel. The challenge is riding through that big flat spot in the wheel.
The 1.5 is a two wheel stack with the top wheel the “D” shaped wheel. It would be a coaster unicycle for half a revolution.
The 2.5 wheeler is a three stack with the top wheel being the “D” shaped half-a-wheel.
The 0 wheeler is a standard unicycle with no spokes and no rim. Just the cranks attached to the hub. It’s more of a walking machine than a unicycle. Kathump, kathump, kathump, as you go stomping around walking on the pedals.
You can see a picture of the 1.5 that you where talking about here http://www.unicycling.com/garage/multi.htm
